Detection and antigenic characterization of salmonid alphavirus isolates from sera obtained from farmed Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., and farmed rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum)V A Jewhurst
Department of Veterinary Science, The Queen's University of Belfast, Veterinary Sciences Division, Stormont, Belfast, UK
J Fish Dis 27:143-9. 2004..A low level of antigenic variation was detected when these SAV isolates were investigated by indirect immunofluorescence using a panel of mAbs raised to reference SPDV and SDV isolates...
Longitudinal serological surveys of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., using a rapid immunoperoxidase-based neutralization assay for salmonid alphavirusD A Graham
Veterinary Sciences Division, Stormont, Belfast, UK
J Fish Dis 28:373-9. 2005..The results provide essential baseline information for the interpretation of SPDV VN serology results, and indicate that this methodology is suited to both the diagnosis and seroepidemiology of SPDV infections...
A comparative study of marine salmonid alphavirus subtypes 1-6 using an experimental cohabitation challenge modelD A Graham
Veterinary Sciences Division, Agri food and Biosciences Institute of Northern Ireland, Stormont, Belfast, UK
J Fish Dis 34:273-86. 2011..These results demonstrate for the first time that shedding and transmission of virus may occur by both these routes and suggest that dispersal in these matrices should be included in any disease transmission models...
